The single electric crêpe maker is the entry point for kitchens that want to serve crêpes and galettes with no gas connection. One Ø 39.5 cm round plate, 3 kW, 220V single-phase — it sits on any worktop with a standard socket. No installation constraint, no alteration to the premises: it is ready to use within minutes. For a kebab snack, a pizzeria or a restaurant that wants to widen its menu with a few crêpe references, it is the simplest entry point in the catalogue at €390 excl. VAT.
For which establishment?
The single electric crêpe maker meets the needs of professionals who want to start with moderate capacity or add crêpes alongside a main menu:
- Kebab, pizza or chicken snack widening its menu: adding 2 to 4 crêpe or galette references takes little space and little investment. The single crêpe maker (45 × 50 cm footprint) sits on any worktop. It covers a crêpe-taco-wrap offer without restructuring the kitchen and without touching the existing gas installation.
- Start-up crêperie or trial crêpe offer: before investing in a double station (€690, 6 kW, 2 plates), the single crêpe maker lets you validate real throughput and customer demand. If crêpes take off and the pace exceeds one plate, moving to the double model is a natural step — with no change of know-how or recipes.
- Kitchen with no gas connection: dark kitchens, all-electric commercial premises, floor kitchens with no gas riser — in these cases the electric crêpe maker is the only option. It fits into all-electric equipment with no specific combustion ventilation.
- Mains-powered food truck: with a standard 230V socket, the electric crêpe maker runs with no gas bottle, no risk in a confined space and no safety delay. On a food truck regularly connected to the mains, it is often simpler than managing propane refills.
Ø 39.5 cm round plate: galettes, crêpes and wraps
The round plate is the traditional format of professional Breton crêpe makers. The 39.5 cm diameter cooks crêpes up to 35 cm across — the standard size for a filled crêpe served at the table or a complete galette. The ring of space around the crêpe leaves room for the rozell (the spreader) without overflowing the plate edges.
The plate heats evenly from 50 to 300°C with an adjustable thermostat: 180 to 200°C for sweet wheat crêpes, 220 to 240°C for savoury buckwheat galettes which need a fierce heat to release cleanly. This precise setting avoids stuck crêpes or burnt galettes between batches.
The plate is also used to reheat and crisp wheat tortillas for tacos, wraps or burritos — the same gesture as a crêpe, 30 to 45 seconds at 200°C. It is one of the reasons a single crêpe maker is found in many snack kitchens even when they do not put crêpes on the menu.
3 kW on single-phase 220V: what it delivers in service
3 kW on a single Ø 39.5 cm round plate is enough for steady, continuous service at a moderate pace:
- Heat-up: 5 to 8 minutes from cold to 200°C.
- Pace in steady service: 30 to 40 crêpes per hour — about 60 to 90 seconds per crêpe depending on batter thickness and filling.
- Temperature recovery between two crêpes: almost immediate in continuous service. The hot plate holds its temperature between passes.
- Daily capacity: over a 6-hour continuous service, 180 to 240 crêpes a day — enough for a crêpe offer alongside a main menu.
If demand regularly exceeds 40 crêpes/hour, the double electric crêpe maker (2 Ø 40 cm plates, 6 kW, €690) doubles the pace with no extra staff — both plates run in parallel with a single crêpe cook.

The choice between electric and gas comes down to infrastructure: same price (€390), same plate (Ø 39.5 cm). Gas = autonomy with no socket and faster heat-up; electric = immediate installation, no bottle. If gas is not available on the premises, the electric crêpe maker is the direct answer.
What restaurateurs ask
- Can buckwheat galettes be cooked on this electric crêpe maker?
- Yes. Buckwheat galettes cook at 220–240°C — a temperature the single electric crêpe maker reaches and holds easily with its thermostat. The Ø 39.5 cm round plate is the standard size of Breton crêpe makers and is perfectly suited to complete galettes (cheese, ham, egg). The plate seasons with use — the first crêpes stick slightly on a new plate; coating the plate with lard or clarified butter before the first uses speeds up the natural non-stick surface.
- Can the single electric crêpe maker heat taco or wrap tortillas?
- Yes, it is a common use in snacks and Tex-Mex restaurants. A wheat tortilla heats at 200°C for 30 to 45 seconds per side — it becomes supple and slightly crisp at the edges, which makes filling and presentation easier. The 39.5 cm diameter suits tortillas of 25 to 30 cm. For operators who mainly make tacos or wraps with a few sweet crêpes for dessert, the single crêpe maker at €390 is often the most versatile piece on the hot line.
- How many crêpes per hour can a single plate produce?
- In steady continuous service, a 3 kW single crêpe maker produces between 30 and 40 crêpes per hour — one crêpe every 60 to 90 seconds depending on type (thin sweet crêpe or thick filled galette). This output suits a crêpe service alongside a main menu. If crêpes become the flagship dish with peaks of 50 orders/hour, moving to the double model (2 plates, 6 kW, €690) doubles the pace with a single operator.
- Which accessories should be bought with the single crêpe maker?
- The three essential tools are the rozell (wooden or stainless spreader to spread the batter), the spatula (to turn and lift the crêpe) and the ladle (to dose the batter). A complete rozell–spatula–ladle kit is available in the catalogue. Without these tools it is hard to get an even crêpe thickness — especially for thicker buckwheat galettes which need precise spreading.
